Tooms, you deluded yourself into thinking that Trump was somehow responsible for the pandemic. You claim that he dissolved this one committee of brilliant scientists in China who somehow were going to stop the pandemic. I have asked what these scientists were actually going to do, and like usual, you came up with nothing.

If your premise is right and given the damage that ensued with Covid, why didn't the California governor hire them? Or the British PM? Or the Sultan of Burnei? Why do all these people get a pass?

And outside of testing when flying back into the country and the disasterous vaccine mandates, Biden did not change much of anything Trump was doing in 2021 and as we have said so often, there were more Covid deaths in 2021 than 2020.

So just like with the inflation data, you cannot come up with any objective reason why Biden was better than Trump. The only reason you are carrying on about Trump is you have rabid TDS.

As far as Republicans being optimistic, Ha!, that is a low bar to jump. Biden was so bad your own party revoked his nomination. If he were so great, why weren't you screaming that he should stay on the ballot?

0% of Democrats Happy with State of the US Right Now.

While 76 percent of Republicans say they are satisfied with the direction of the country, just 0. 4 percent of Democrats said the same. The 76-point gap is the highest Gallup has ever recorded on the measure, though a 75-point gap was recorded in May and 74-point gaps in March and July.

As to why, we could see our very own Loony Tooms screaming about a 2. 7% inflation rate which is lower than the average rate was under Biden and is in the EXACT same 2 to 3% range for 2024.

I could get Dems being in an uproar if it were 10+%, but it is the same.

So why are Dems freaking out? Because they are listening to the media with its Trump derangement syndrome, and here is the proof.

Year-ahead inflation expectations surged from 6.7% last month to 7.3% this month, the highest reading since 1981 and marking five consecutive months of unusually large increases of 0. 5 percentage points or more.

If you ever wonder why I call you Democratic this is it. All you can do is lie. Inflation has been far worse during the Biden administration, up 20.1% over the first 45 months of Biden's term compared to 7. 1% during Trump's first 45 months, according to the government's consumer price index. That equates to annualized inflation rates of 5. 4% under Biden and 1.9% under Trump.

So 5.4% inflation is better than 2.9%? LOL. I am Loony Tooms. I am not a MAGA guy. I am so fucking smart. Yeesh.

Great Dem Economic Recoveries from Great Repub Depressions, Great Repub Recessions and Great Repub Historic Jobs Destruction always accompany bouts of higher inflation.

When a so-called president leaves office with fewer jobs in the country than were in the country 4 years earlier as Repub Herbert Hoover and Repub Donald Trump did and no other president has done in 100 years, you can naturally expect the cost of everything to be pretty damn low at the bottom of that pit.

Is that the result you were hoping Trump would repeat in his 2nd term? He's working very hard to accomplish that for you. In fact, he is apparently trying to repeat that same result by applying the same principle of laying the groundwork for, ushering in and exacerbating another Trump's Pandemic of a deadly disease of one kind or another to mass murder millions of people, collapse global supply-chains, wipe out millions of jobs, close down businesses and schools, trigger hyper-inflation during any recovery, etc, etc.

Why argue with success, right? He knows how to do that better than anyone on the planet. From personal experience doing it once already.

Is that why 76% of Repubs love the direction Trump is taking the country?

1. Yes, having armed military troops on the ground does tend to reduce crime. But Trump really needs to station them in the many Red Cities in Red States with much higher violent crime and homicide rates than Blue ones, especially higher than D.C..

2. The Mayor of D.C. wants that $2 Billion dangling in the air and available as long as she says nice things about Trump's hair and how his ever swelling ankles actually make the rest of his body look slimmer.

Interesting that so many other Mainstream Media sources fail to mention that critical $2 Billion part of it the same as your Breitbart link avoided it like the plague, isn't it? LOL.

Year-ahead inflation expectations surged from 6.7% last month to 7.3% this month, the highest reading since 1981 and marking five consecutive months of unusually large increases of 0. 5 percentage points or more.

This month's rise was seen across all three political affiliations. Long-run inflation expectations climbed from 4. 4% in April to 4. 6% in May, reflecting a particularly large jump among Democrats to a ridiculous 9. 6% over the next year!!

Sorry, one more that made us fucking laugh. One-third of women surveyed believe inflation over the next year will be 15% or higher.

Is the soft-data slump all driven by leftists imbibing mainstream media's desperate propaganda-fueled terror of what Trump is doing?

End of link.

The answer to the question of course is yes.

What gets me is that these same Democratic douches constantly use the phrase TACO in terms of talking about Trump. TACO stands for Trump always chickening out. When Trump put in tariffs, and the bond and stock markets tanked, he backed off of them.

What kills me about these Democratic douches is Trump has already showed willingness to back off tariffs if they cause harm. It is logical to be afraid of inflation is you think tariffs are going to cause them, but having TDS means you fear tariffs at the same time you call Trump TACO.

But what really gets me is the same douches were giving the thumbs up with Biden when inflation went as high as 9. 2%. Every time Biden talked about Bidenomics, his approval rating and poll numbers tanked, and we have the same set of douches here going on about how great the economy was under Biden.

In 2024, the economy was the same as it is now under Trump, but in 2022, Biden's economy sucked ass.

Who, except with only very few neurons US, or criminal Netanyahou, or criminal dictator Putin who found a orange barbie to fuck deep since elected for second time, who can appreciate USA with so bad image, really no MAGA but ridiculous by Putin. US have to buy some neurons. Tell your stupid: only way to stop Putin who makes fun of down USA, is to make him broke and Russians with starvation, then they will eat their dictator who fucked elections to be re elected, when almost all Ukrainians support Zelensky for his balls. Fortunately, Europe support much more Ukraine than Trump and give them money to pay robber USA.

Just when I think you think you cannot be any more stupid, I was wrong. If you look here, https://www.bea.gov/news/2025/person...lays-july-2025, the two numbers where the consumers spent less money in the PCE report is the exact area you were griping about, food and gasoline. You cannot make this shit up.

The only amusing part with you is how you worm out of it: Will it be attacking the source? Moving the goal posts? More arrogance? Or will it be the way I read it? Yes, the way I read it inflation was much better under Biden.

The reality is no matter what the numbers were with Trump you were going to griping about Trump no matter what, and everyone here knows it.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the move Wednesday during the launch of the NextGen Acela high-speed train. Duffy says Union Station has fallen into disrepair when it should be a point of pride for the city, where Trumps Republican administration has increased federal law enforcement and immigration agents.

Duffy echoes Trumps call for $2 billion from Congress to beautify Washington as part of his crackdown on the city.

Core inflation rose to 2. 9% in July, highest since February.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/29/pce-...ndroidappshare

Inflation edged higher in July, according to the Federal Reserves preferred inflation measure, indicating that President Donald Trumps tariffs are working their way through the U.S. economy.

The personal consumption expenditures price index showed that core inflation, which excludes food and energy costs, ran at a 2.9% seasonally adjusted annual rate, according to a Commerce Department report Friday. That was up 0.1 percentage point from the June level and the highest annual rate since February, though in line with the Dow Jones consensus forecast.

On a monthly basis, the core PCE index increased 0.3%, also in line with expectations. The all-items index showed the annual rate at 2.6% and the monthly gain at 0.2%, also hitting the consensus outlook.

However, help might be on the way for America!

Most Trump tariffs ruled illegal by appeals court in huge blow to trade policy.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/29/trum...ndroidappshare

A federal appeals court ruled that most of President Donald Trumps global tariffs are illegal, striking a massive blow to the core of his aggressive trade policy.

Fridays ruling is the Trump administrations second straight loss in the make-or-break case known as V.O.S. Selections v. Trump.

Trump attacked the appeals court as Highly Partisan and asserted that the Supreme Court will rule in his favor.

Then again, he is probably right. 5-6 of the MAGA Repub so-called Justices on the SCOTUS very likely will rule in favor of whatever this current MAGA Repub so-called president wants to do in order to wreak havoc on the American Working Men and Women, make themselves and the other top 1% of the wealthiest Americans even wealthier at the great expense of everyone else and give him his best shot at reversing the Envy of the World Economy he inherited from Biden-Harris to turn it into the historic shit-storm of economic disaster and massive jobs destruction all Repub so-called presidents are contractually obligated to deliver sometime during their so-called presidential terms.

But the one thing we know about you is wherever those prices are higher, it is Trump's fault.

For 2026, health insurers have proposed a median premium increase of 18% across the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplaces, the largest requested increase since 2018.

This marks a notable rise compared to the previous year and reflects growing pressures from rising health care costs, increased utilization of high-priced drugs like GLP-1 agonists (e. G, Ozempic and Wegovy), labor shortages, and inflation.

Ozempic is crazy popular right now, and Americans are paying a $1000 a month for this versus people in the UK and Colombia which is paying $80. The bullshit you Dems have been pulling is you rally against high drug prices, then take money from drug company lobbyists, and then do nothing about high prices. The biggest bullshit excuse is Ozempic is made by a European company but American companies and local governments are prohibited by our federal government and the FDA from buying the drug in Europe and giving it to the people who need it here. The bullshit excuse is "safety".

Thing is Republicans are just as worthless as the Dems on this issue. They are just less hypocritical because they do not scream against drug companies with one exception in the Republican party and that is Trump. Trump does not do jack shit about either but he screams against them and is not dependent on them money wise so maybe, maybe drug companies may be more cautious raising future prices. Is that markedly better than Biden? Hell no, but it is a little better.

So for all your belly aching on Dems being so much better, they suck ass and so do Republicans. We do not have a choice between candidates who are going to bring drug prices down.

This is the biggest rising expense in our system and Obama made health care his #1 issue and he did not do jack shit about this. In fact, he made it worse!

But what about Trump? Like I said, he sucked on the issue too. The best he did was get rid of the ridiculously unconstitutional health care mandate.

So quit with your bullshit that the Dems are so much better than the Republicans when the reality is they both suck ass.

Gas prices have been stable since 2022? Then what was all that belly-aching about gas prices being done by MAGAs and their Cult Leader Trump every day of 2022 and since until the day Trump was elected?

Please site and date the Great Depressions, Great Recessions, Massive Jobs Destruction and / or skyrocketing Unemployment Rates into double digits and while you're at it the Bear Market Crashes that started under Dem Presidents instead of Repub presidents over the past 100 years. All of which there have been several over the past 100 years, BTW.

Let's see if actual irrefutable and inarguable data, historical records and facts support your claim that "they both suck" in any meaningful way on any important issue.
